I really hope the club and the fans actually give him a chance. On paper it is an ideal move but loan moves often don’t work out because the club and fans default to their own players whenever they hit a roadbump. I like Hastie, he definitely has an ability to score goals that is rare. Being good enough for Rangers is another question unfortunately. Middleton is similar.

Looks ok, nothing special. -
Used to be common in the north west of Scotland.

Interesting. I've always said I think Dykes looks very good. It is rare for a player with his physique to have the technical ability like he does. Livingstone will be under serious financial pressure, if this is true we may have swooped in at just the right time and picked him up for less than we otherwise would have. Lyndon Dykes is very different to Morelos. Morelos is a physical presence too, but all about his goals really. He is a good goalscorer but I have always said his link up play is poor, he doesn't create goals for others. Lyndon Dykes' goalscoring record is far from prolific, but his assist record is excellent. He is better on the ball than Morelos, very good at dribbling and passing, and this shows in his assists numbers. Dykes has 5 assists in the league to Morelos's 1 (BBC stats), despite playing for Livingston who scored far less than us. At QoS, he got at least 10 league assists in his last 2 seasons (at a young age). Dobbie's goals dried up without Dykes. So alongside goalscoring attacking midfielders I think Dykes could be excellent. A modern target man, able to hold up the ball well and set up the attacking midfielders. Unfortunately we don't have the players for this yet. We are set up for a goalscoring striker. Kent will never be a goalscorer and Aribo isn't really either. Hagi, Murphy and Stewart are goalscoring attacking midfielders but only Hagi can really expect to start. So if this one pans out, it will be interesting to see if we do add a different kind of attacking midfielder.

The midfield in particular was incredible.

The kits are ok, nothing special in my opinion. -
Tavernier turns 29 in a few months, and has 2 years left on his deal. We have invested heavily in scouting so in my opinion we should try and get a good transfer fee in for him now before his value dives in the next couple of years and he leaves for nothing. I am a fan of his, but it makes good sense for the club and we have to trust our scouts to come up with a replacement.

Sadly true. Barry Ferguson was a once in a generation player in my opinion, and if he was coming through just now he probably wouldn't play a senior game at Rangers. I do think the OP raises a good point though, we are struggling to get a player all the way to the first team. I still have high hopes for some of the players though. This will be a big season for Patterson.

Pleased with the Bassey signing. Don't get me wrong, I knew nothing about him before this but that just tells me that our scouts are doing their job. Gone are the days of Sportscene scouting at Rangers and thank goodness for that. He fits the profile; 20 years old, low fee and wages and lots of promise. I've watched a Wyscout video of him and he certainly looks promising. Strong as an ox and he has some engine on him, very fast and better than I expected technically. He could play as a left winger quite easily if need be. And a real left winger who gets to the byline at that. Hopefully more signings like this to come.
